Quebec Provincial Police said Wednesday the mystery has been solved.He declined to reveal details but \u201cI can say there was no question of theft, holdup or drugging as had been indicated in early

joint statement that \u201call expenditures of union funds have been made either with the authorization of the convention or the international executive council, the organization's highest governing body.\u201d Martin J.Quigley, president of the Mutual Title Company here, testified he personally closed the real estate deal in early May 1952.Quigley said that to finance it, Valente and Klenert \u201coriginally put up $95,000\u201d in the form of a cheque drawn on their union's funds.He said this was what the two houses cost \u2014 $42,500 for Valen.te's and $52,500 for Klenert's.But they used only $57,000 of the $95,000, he said, because they agreed to take over and pay off mortgages totalling $38,000 outstanding against the two properties.Quigley then identified a batch of bank drafts and cashier\u2019s cheques he said he had received about May 15, 1952, from Valente and Klenert amounting to another $57,000.Counsel Kennedy told the committee later testimony would show that

the promising career of a young Canadian diplomat on the Indochina armistice commission is still at large more than three months after the murder that rocked the usually blase capital of Saigon.The target for the assassin's blade was Lucien Cannon, a 38-year-old career officer in the Canadian diplomatic service who had the rank of second secretary, but who actually headed the Canadian side of the mixed armistice team in Saigon.He had served in Buenos Aires and in the external affairs department in Ottawa before arriving in Indochina in January.Married, with two children.Cannon had to leave them in Ottawa as the Canadians on the commission serve the relatively short period of nine to 12 months and do not bring their families with them.* * \u2022 Friendly and well - liked, the handsome diplomat hardly had time to get settled in Saigon before the murderer tracked him down and escaped, leaving no important clues.Shortly after arriving, Cannon visited Hanoi, capital of Communist-held North Viet Nam and the headquarters of the three-power (India, Canada, Poland) commission still supervising the Indochina truce three years after the fighting stopped.The commision is not generally taxed with work these days and.being athletic.Cannon found plenty of time to swim and play tennis at Saigon's fashionable French-run Cercle Sportif, where the Vietnamese capital's foreign colony
